Art Analysis
The Layered Pulse of a City in Outcry
In this work, Goggin utilizes the vertical constraints of the portrait format to stack layers of urban history and political urgency. The composition mimics the weathered surfaces of city walls, where posters are torn and pasted over one another, creating a dense thicket of typography and raw color that mirrors the chaotic spirit of a public demonstration.
The piece avoids a singular focal point, instead inviting the eye to wander through a landscape of fragmented messages and bold graphic interventions. By leaning into the physical nature of the collage medium, Goggin translates the fleeting noise of a protest into a permanent, tactile record of civic energy and collective movement.
The artwork utilizes a portrait format to mirror the soaring height and dense stacking of Manhattan’s architectural landscape.
The artwork channels the raw, unpolished atmosphere of a street protest through its fragmented and weathered aesthetic.
Goggin uses the collage method to simulate the physical buildup of paper and ink found on public notice boards.
